Reviews of Action Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Shayla Smart

Amazing experience! Got my nose pierced very professional, quick and clean! Did I mention everything was super clean...you can smell the clean this is VERY important to me! I would recommend and return for future tattoo or piercing needs.

Ty Anderson

I had a fantastic session with Rich White, the owner of Action Tattoos. The whole crew is great and I love my new ink! Thank you

Dave Thue

Friendly great artists along with a awesome vibe.

Melody Parker

This place was like a tattoo haven. I got my tattoo today. I loved every second of it. My tattoo is beautiful and that's just a bonus because the service was like no other. I recommend that anyone who is anyone go to this place for everything. The atmosphere is so amazing and chill. There's no negativity what so ever and I really love that. Especially since I have terrible anxiety. I'm coming back until my body is tatted to perfection. I have no doubt that they can deliver exactly what you want. Please go here.

nicole barker

Horrible tattoo 3 mistakes including not dotting an I & forgot to fill in 2 areas Will never go back to that particular so called artist.

Megan Tomlinson

Tattoo was a very good job but during my consult I was told one price then after it was done was told a different price and when I asked about it they told me they could charge whatever they saw fit

Autumn Connors

Love Lisa, love Rich, and love the art here. Best tattoo shop I have ever been to. Lisa fixed my first tattoo that was poorly done by another artist at another shop. She has done all of my other tattoos since, and has always done an amazing job!!

Alice Kares

Staff was rude and didnt seem to even have time to say hello. Books were out of date.

Aaron Bean

Have gotten many tattoos here over the years. Archie is a Great guy.

Rich William

Out of all the tattoo places check this place out I think you'll like it.

Very friendly, profession staff, and clean, tidy workstations. We went in for a nose piercing and were in & out in 30 minutes. I'd trust them to do all kinds of piercing work and plan to return.

elizabeth diaz

I love all the guys in the shop they are all great. Good sense of humor..the apprentice Katie is working on me and she is great. Made a good friend too

Hanna S

My 5 year old wanted to get her ears pierced and I refused to take her to one of those mall places due to hygiene reasons. I called this place and they told me they can do her piercings when she is 6. So we waited for a few months to pass and for her to turn 6. This place was super with her. Everyone was very friendly and told my daughter that it is a piece of cake. She was nervous but the person doing the piercings was superb. He explained every step and my daughter said she didn't even feel any pain. It was a very pleasant experience. Several weeks later one of her earrings fell off at recess and I couldn't get the earring back on. The piercing person redid the piercing at no cost as soon as we walked in. I can't say enough good things about him. Very happy mama here. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Richard Cory

My cover up, looks great and doesn't look like a cover up. Very pleased.

Jason Isam

The artist are amazing. And detailed work i would highly recommend thembto anybody

Pooh Aust

Took grandson to get his ears pierced. Place was very clean and professional. Piercer was amazing-patient and empathetic. Was really great with my grandson. Also my son gets tattooed here. Highly recommend Action Tattoo!

Scott Mansfield

Gotten two tattoos done here. They charge $125 an hour Cash Only

Damian Lainfiesta

I wanted to get a traditional black panther, and chose to check out Action Tattoo because it was close to work and had really good reviews. Stopped in to book an appointment and spoke with the owner Rich and two employees. All were helpful and immediately recommended Justin Shelton when I mentioned traditional. They had me check out his portfolio and I booked an appointment. At the appointment Justin offered some design ideas based on the source material I sent him and after a few changes he got to work. He did the outline exactly off my source and then used his expertise to shade and color it in. It turned out awesome! Definitely recommend Action Tattoo and Justin Shelton.

Kris Ruyeras

I can't and will not recommend this place. Came here to make an appointment. Gave them $40 and made arrangements with work. They specified and made sure that I cannot cancel or reschedule without 48 hours notice. I got a call less than 24 hours notice that they need to cancel my appointment because she overbooked. I find it annoying that they push about 48 hours notice and I didn't get that same courtesy. Again, making arrangements isn't easy to accommodate the available schedule and getting a short notice is very frustrating. Since they are technically canceling on me, I should get my deposit even though they didn't live up to their own policy. So basically I've lost my $40 and my time away from work. Edit: we did get our $40 back but I've already lost $200 due to babysitting fees and loss of wage.

Alexander Eller

I absolutely love the results from Action Tattoo, like legit best first tattoo experience. I got my tounge pierced 2 years ago and was happy with the experience so thought why not a tattoo? The artist Ben was super awesome and I couldn't be more happy with what he designed and the initial process of getting it done. I definitely will be going there again for my next tattoo during spring break.

heidi harris

Wounderful place 2 get piercing and tattoos done.

Chad Oliveira

Great bunch of artists.

Terra Christin

I went in and got a memorial tattoo for my son Jordan. Mike is amazing he has a very light hand and I am beyond happy with my tat!!! I will be going back for sure! It’s beautiful and just what I was hoping for❤️

Jillian Rothermel

Lisa at Action is amazing. She was able to design exactly what I envisioned! I am do satisfied with my tattoo. Placement and scale is spot on! I highly recommend!

Susan Barlow

Went with my daughter, got my first tat. Thanks, Lisa

mike bales

Rich is a phenomenal artist

Jesse Duffy

Everyone here is super nice, and Justin is super talented!

Pat Coleman

I wouldn’t give this shop a rating at all if it were possible! First we we REQUIRED to come in the day before to pay a $40 appointment fee and consult with the artist who specialized in the type of tattoos we wanted. We were there, but the artist wasn’t. We go back the next day to have the work done and what a let down. I had spent 4-5 hours drawing up what I wanted. The artist didn’t seem to have much interest in listening. My sister and I were having the same wording done but stylized differently. He drew up some stuff I didn’t like and I finally remembered I brought my mock-up and was showing it to him and he complained that HE had drawn it up FOUR times etc etc. well, we drove to an appointment HE DIDN’T bother to show up for. After that, I told him that he wouldn’t be doing my work, but my sister had him do hers. This artist and shop weren’t for me. Should have known when artist didn’t show for consult. Guess it wasn’t meant to be and when all the stars align I am sure I will find what I need.

Makaiah Chesterfield

10/10!!! Best piercing experience EVER! Max is phenomenal and is so knowledgeable. Location is extremely clean and welcoming, so affordable and I will recommend to anyone!

Tracie Bickford

Polite and professional

Gary Carlile

Love the ink

COLETON DAVIS

I Got my daith pierced here and I would recommend getting pierced here Max the piercer was super friendly and nice and very professional and made me feel very comfortable the shop was very clean and sterile I will definitely be going back here again.

Michael Rydquist

The guys here do excellent work, reasonably priced and very professional. Ben a regular customer for two years and seems all my friends here for there work

Ashlyn Stock

So I went to this place with my friend a few weeks ago. We didn’t plan on getting our tattoos that day but they ended up taking us. My tattoo was very small, about quarter size. I’ve been to this location before and had no problems but this time I had Lucky. I’m very unhappy with my tattoo ( just line art). Some areas are MUCH thicker than others and some aren’t even lined. Super unhappy and will not be coming back.

Sara Parliman

I always recommend Action tattoo when the subject of tattoo shops arise

SONIDO G-NEZ

Got a touch up and nicole did an awesome job Looking forward on new tattoos

li di

I did a lot of research before going to them and the artist from the shop had even gotten multiple awards.I had Archie do my tattoo. I personally went there to look just for him based on the style of artwork he has done. I drove all the way from Silverdale to get it done over there. I had drawn out my tattoo and I gave it to him to make it better and he far exceeded my expectations! I was a little hesitant with some of his suggestions but I decided to trust his judgement seeing as he was really good at what he does. I was more then happy with the end results! It was a shoulder-to-shoulder tattoo and surprisingly didn't hurt at all. We talked most of the time during the process, which was good and helped ease my nerves since this was my first tattoo. My family loves my tattoo and I get compliments all the time on my tattoo and people are always intrigued by it. I would definitely recommend and would go back again if I had not moved out of state =(. (I had gotten tatted by them around Nov 2014)

erica lewis

I would never get my tatto here. I was looking around for a artist to do my tattoo I have been wanting for a while now. So I was going to many different places. I had stopped by some other places I had really liked but I had heard a lot of good things about two particular artists and decided it would be worth the drive to check this place out. Curb a peal is a little sketchy but when you walked inside I was amazed it was very nice looking on inside and I was thinking oh man I'd love to get my tattoo here, this place is awesome. Well my friend was with me cause I wanted her opinion on the places. Wait about 10 min before someone walked over to talk to me. Mind you only a couple artist were tattooing out of all of them. The guy that walked over was extremely disrespectful right off the bat and not very welcoming. He asked what I wanted to get and I showed him a picture of an idea I liked and he said very rudly change size or drop detail even though every single other artist I went to was like oh yeah that'd be awesome we can totaly do that and worked with me on it, being very kind. This guy was not kind he was exceptionally rude. He also said yeah and it's $125 and hour, so yeah its pretty high for you. Me and my friend just looked at eachother like what the hell. I said okay I'll take my $125 an hour somewhere else and we left. I found my artist somewhere else and i have it designed and ready. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you are good friends or know the person who would be doing your artwork. There very rude

Naiatea Iuli

I got my nose pierced; Matt was awesome! Very knowledgeable! Easy process and didn’t hurt as much as I expected ...just as he said. Staff were all friendly, immediately greeted when I walked in. Will be going back for eyebrow piercing in the near future!

Kimberly Poonkasem

Great artist's

Chanté Today

I just called the place and the lady rushed me off the phone and hung up on me. Not very impressed with their customer service.

Audry Jones

Incredible experience, incredible artist! Ben will be my go to guy for all my ink!

Lauren Schmidt

Awesome experience!!!

Hoosier F. Daddy

The others may be cool but the guy that did me made me not like the place. Needed two sessions and couldn't get a second appointment. That was 10 years ago though. They moved and have different people, so disregard this review

Jordana Blake

I got pierced by Max here and would highly recommend anyone if they need anything pierced to go to Action Tattoo. He was extremely professional and so nice, it was such a great experience! Amazing work!

Jo Jo

Went in for my first tattoo last weekend and seeing as how it was my first, I do wish things would have been explained a little better (more in depth) and I could have been informed a little more as to what he was doing and the procedures on stuff. On any piercing I've ever had in my lifetime, everything going on was explained in so much depth that I didn't really have any questions. But I also don't know if that's normal or if that's just the customer service side of me expecting more than I should. I asked a lot of questions and got clarification on the things that I needed-which anyone should do especially when it comes to a tattoo. I did feel a little rushed. Things happened really fast but that also could have been my nerves or just the way things usually go when it comes to a tattoo shop. I mean people don't go there just to hang out right?! I was recommended to come to this shop after a family member of mine came here a few months ago and I will say that overall I am very happy with how my tattoo turned out. The aura was good and the lady and the front counter was SO awesome! She made good conversation with me and truly eased my mind on my "fears" and first time nerves. The other artists/employees made small talk with us and you could tell they all really enjoyed working together (which is nice) I think I would definitely recommend this shop moving forward. Ben did my tattoo and told me to come back in three weeks for a basic check up and he'll do touch ups if they are needed.

Nate Gmail

This is the ONLY place to go when you're getting something put on your body forever. Think about that: FOREVER. Don't trust just anyone. Rich White, an artist here and the owner, is THE man when it comes to your black & white, your portraits, your vision. He's a great guy, great artist, and if you're wise, your next tattoo artist.

Jason F

Great job mike! I couldn't be happier, and so fast.

beatriz escobar

Great envioroment. Always fun. Great artists.

Gabriel Chadderton

Ben is an amazing artist along with every one else at action tattoo

Robin Swaffard

A friend and I made appointments for the same time 2:00, I thought we made that very clear in person while putting down our deposits, the receptionist screwed the pooch, No now do we really want to sit there all f'n day waiting for each other???? We only get together every 10 years. So yeah, the artist was late and we spent 5 and a1/2 hours there and both left angry and unsatisfied. Will not recommend.

Ajesseal

Awesome staff and their shop is SUPER clean very cool people to talk to while getting a tattoo done. ^-^

Danni Farnsworth

Talented tattoo artists. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere

Kelsey Arden

i went there for a Septum piercing. the guy who helped me, his name was Matt (maybe Max, sorry bad with names) was very helpful, and nice with giving me all the information i could ever ask for. while doing it he kept talking me through the whole process which was very comforting. then after words he kept checking in with me making sure i was ok. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND going here. defiantly will go back if i ever need another piercing and would recommend to anyone. the shop was SO CLEAN you could eat off the floor. i also loved how he made sure everything was sterilized thoroughly before doing anything.

Candice Turrentine

Nice, clean and professional we definitely will be back.

Super Bree

Fantastic crew, so happy with my finished design. Lisa is especially awesome!

Dan Thorp

Exceptional details in these tattoos. Rich is an amazing artist!

Tyler Fuda

I went here on my 18th birthday, got a remembrance tattoo, and Rich was really cool, it being my first tattoo I was nervous and excited, not one for needles but rich made me feel comfortable, and to top it off the tattoo I got was very well done and it was done quickly!

Darryl Doak

Cymattic Burkley

Unfortunately this is the worst customer service I've ever had , the artist Mikey did not keep his word did not let me know i called him earlier in the day numerous of times during the day, he finally picked up the phone conffired the appointment for today at 6:30. i get there , mind you i already paid. and the place is closed they close at 9. i did not get a call or anything, in which i gave all that info to him, for him to use whenever he need to contact me I'm so frustrated. I will not come back to this place and honestly neither should anybody else , but too each is own.

William Davis

Lisa was great! Provided me with an awesome tattoo based on three pictures I liked. Friendly and professional! She even came on her day off to fit me in for my special birthday ink! Would definitely recommend this shop!

Lisa D

I was visiting family for the week , I'm from Montreal, my cousin wanted to get her first tat so for support purposes I went and got 2 with her. I have alot of ink and only stick to one girl near me, but figured why not it's gonne be a small one . The guy couldn't even draw straight lines . I'm going to have it covered this week so, if you're planning on getting tatted here.. maybe you should look at other options .

Rosalee Shoulders

Kristi Blankenship

Got my navel pierced here 6 weeks ago by their NEW piercer. Crooked, horribly deep, and got so infected i ended up in the emergency room. Owner was very rude and unprofessional. Didn't seem to care at all that i wasn't satisfied. This place isn't what it used to be.

Eduardo Jimenez

Love this place

Betsy Marles

Go see Justin.

Richard Mcallister

Mike will tell says one price then over charges you. Got charged 80 for filling in color that took literally 15 minutes from start to wrap. Cant even do a proper touch up right

Michelle Walton

I just went in for a consultation on covering up my small piece, and ended up getting it the same night! Ian did such an amazing job designing and tattooing it and made sure everything was just what I wanted. Huge thank you to him and the rest of the team for being so inviting. This place was awesome and I’ll definitely be getting many pieces here. Well worth the drive if you’re far!

Mike Buss

Rich is the best ink artist I've ever seen

Kim Mace

The piercer was very friendly and helpful and the jewelry is reasonably priced

Nico Kinder

Dope artists! And awesome crew to work with!

Nate

The owner of Action is a guy named Rich. He has won tons of awards and has a wait list a mile long (if you can even get on it!) He's awesome. His shop is awesome. Fortunately for all of us, talent begets talent, so the rest of the folks in his shop are awesome, too. If you're going to get a tattoo, go here. Don't go anywhere else, don't consider anywhere else, just go to Action in Auburn. One day, when you're admiring your awesome new tattoo, you'll think to yourself, "I'm so glad I listened to that random dude who wrote a Google review."

Scott Wieder

Hands down the best tattoo shop around. There is some serious talent here. If you are looking for real artwork and not just some ink, these is the place to go.

Lynette Boger

My first tattoo by Lisa was great ! She was professional, clean, listened to what I wanted, and I left smiling with my first ever tattoo.

Becca Moore

I've gotten 2 tattoos here done by Justin, and my fiancé got 1 by him as well. Shop is clean, laid back (in a good way) and enjoyable. After moving to Texas, I wish Justin could've came with. Amazing art, he will work with you to give you exactly what you want, and he is excited about tattooing. Fair price and good experience. Might need to hold off tattooing and just fly back to see him!

Brianna Slagle

I got my tattoo here on 1/21/19 and Nicole does amazing work! Everyone in the shop is very professional and helpful i also got nipple piercings done here by Max on 10/20/18 and he made it super comfortable he talked my sister and i through it the whole time. All in all this shop is the best I've been to so far! I know where i am going for my ink work

Angie H

This shop is awesome! Cool people! Lisa does a fantastic job...true artist!

Allison H

Excellent shop full of talented artists. Great location with plenty of parking. Clean and comfortable. Huge variety of art styles and easy to work with. Lisa did an outstanding job on tat made from my grand-daughter'drawing. She got the colors, and even the textures of the crayons, spot on! Will definitely have more work done by this talented lady!

Bob Door

I went with a friend that was shopping for a portrait artist. The tattoo turned out better than even expected. Great shading and definition. I would highly recommend Acton tattoo for any portrait work. I'm fairly sure the owner did the job.
